Yesterday, we had our first after-summer Zagreb Freelancers Meetup in the BIZkoshnica coworking space. The topic was how to go about founding a company, what are the administrative steps, which form to choose and what are the advantages and disadvantages. We covered a lot of interesting points, so I wanted to summarise the most important stuff. The event itself is a part of the European Freelancers Week and you can find some more related events around Europe.

One thing I recommend from my experience of running a web development business for a few years now is to get all this administrative, bureaucratic stuff done as quickly as possible and try to get it out of the way as much as you can. Your primary concern should always be your core business – the work you do for your client, your product, your team. Try to outsource administrative services to experts, i.e. accounting, legal and you focus on your business. Of course, don’t oversimplify – do your homework and inform yourself beforehand to pick the right company form and know the risks and liabilities.
